My body stretched and shifted
Hips opening
Muscles sliding and flexing
My joints moved in their sockets
A gentle sensation
Softly rotating in place.
My teeth tingled in response
To the wordless communication.
"One day, you will die
We won't carry you forever
We will dissolve
Become dull
We will
Creak and hurt and age
You can't stop it
And you don't need to."
Our bodies know death
They're dying since the day they were conceived
Cells dividing in creation,
living in service,
dying in sacrifice
For you
For me
To uphold the complexity of our bodies
Until the system returns to Oneness.
